Virginia Dirt + Special Guest Shea Rafferty
Green Note Ltd, Green Note, NW1 7AN , [Venue Details]In their first ever gig, outlaw Country/Americana duo Virginia Dirt supported Sunny Sweeney, making a statement that they’re set to stomp all over the growing UK country music scene.
Lead singer Virgie Lynne was born on the edge of the Great Dismal Swamp and raised in small southern US towns. Country music was the soundtrack of her childhood and misspent youth. Inspired by iconic dive bar country artists like Waylon Jennings, as well as the California ‘Bakersfield sound’ (pioneered by Merle Haggard and Buck Owens), her songwriting is loaded with joy, witty humour and despair, and has seen her compared to the likes of Jimmy Webb. The other half of Virginia Dirt is Suffolk-based Italian Corrado Cecere. Raised in the shadow of the Colosseum, Corrado is part metal-head rocker, part swamp blues man with a parmesan dusting of Louis Prima.
With influences like ZZ Top and AC/DC commingled with OG country music, his Roman heart could just have easily been born in the hills of Arkansas. Together, they ride good with honky tonk heart, equal parts polish and grit. Tongue in cheek and timeless, their debut album – recently mastered by Miles Showell (The Beatles, Amy Winehouse) at Abbey Road Studios – is due for release in April and we’re excited to celebrate the release here at the Green Note on 29th May.
